ESPN networks to broadcast 21 regular-season matches in 2011

The ESPN networks are set to broadcast 21 MLS regular-season matches in 2011, with a major emphasis on the fiercest rivalries in the league. The Cascadia Cup series in the Pacific Northwest, the Superclásico in Los Angeles, and the always-testy I-95 clashes between the New England Revolution, New York Red Bulls, Philadelphia Union, and D.C. United. ESPN2 will also show both bicoastal marquee matchups between the Galaxy and Red Bulls.

In total, there are four matches on ESPN and 17 on ESPN2. ESPN Deportes will broadcast all 21 matches. In addition, ESPN and ESPN2 have eight windows in the summer in order to broadcast international matches involving MLS clubs.
